Game 6 Thread: Reds vs. Phillies Part III

I need to get to Chicago this summer to go to Roosevelt, and so I mightaswell take in a Reds Cubs game while I am there. It was an excellent experiance, but I wouldn't want to do it too often, I really like the moderness of Great American Ballpark. Going to a Cubs game is like watching a game at a museam.

That's why 'Nukkah likes it so much.

I thought the stadium was pretty nice for being a million years old

But I've been watching my baseball at RFK for the last couple years.

I guess I am saying it is a great experiance

and every baseball fan should have. But with the small concourses and such, it is nice to have a modern stadium.

I went to RFK last summer when Dumatrait made his amazing Cueto-esque debut. That place was awful. I saw a game at Tropancana, RFK in my opinion was worse. I have never really had a stadium upset my experiance as much as RFK.

I was at that game as well

The combined experience of RFK and Dumatrait's debut actually caused me to vomit in the middle of the 4th.

You shoulda said hey too.

Wish I knew you were there

The only upside to the Dumatrait era was that it got me some free beer a few weeks later when he pitched against the Braves. Me and Braves Fan Chris (I'm channelling Man Mountain with my nicknames here) watched the game at the bar, and he bought my beer after the game, saying "Anybody who sat through that shit deserves a few on the house."

Closet Braves Fan Man Mountain

would like to have bought you a beer this saturday at not-RFK. Not to be.

I've got a plan and it's as hot as my pants...

Hang on a minute

Saturday? Your email says Friday.

There's about 2/3 a chance I'm already coming up to DC on Saturday, so if that's when you're going, I actually might be able to join you.

Especially if there's free beer.

that is one of about 3 games I left early

between the stadium, my girlfriend wasn't feeling well, I woke up at 6 that morning to catch a flight out of Dayton, and I got about 3 hours of sleep the night before, and Dumatrait.

Daedalus, ken and I were at that game too. You shoulda said hey.

I actually was impressed that the concourses were as good as Wrigley as they were. And the crowd was awesome - sellout on a Thursday afternoon. Thank god they're all bums and don't have jobs.
